Comment(by Otto42):

 I find myself needing something like this today. I want to store some data
 about every comment made, like the commenter's FriendFeed account name. I
 want to be able to display links to the commenter's social sites, sort of
 thing.

 Easiest way is to simply store this information as metadata alongside the
 comment, tied to its ID. Then in the comment loop, I can pull comment meta
 info and display the resulting link, if there is one.

 As it stands now, it appears I have to have my plugin make its own table
 for what is basically one piece of information tied directly to the
 comment. :(

 +1 from me.
